In May 2019 U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham announced that he had secured $37.2 million to build a new range at Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot.

What’s puzzling is that just two months later Cunningham voted to mandate the unachievable goal of integrating men, women and transgender individuals at our very own Parris Island — or to suffer the consequences: closure.”
